Page 9: par. 3: Should be a left double quotation
In either case, such an economy would be comparable in kind to those whose participants are the ‘’animal consumers” examined by John Kagel and Raymond Battalio, and their coworker's.3

He acts to make the shoes from cowhide. (My thanks to Israel Kirzner for this exmple.)

Both men shared an interest in neoKantian philosophy and an aversion to the cruder brands of positivism and behaviorism.
Page 36: par. 1: Missing hyphen
In his quest for a reputable philosophical position that would supply him with enough intellectual armor to withstand the onslaughts of positivism and to espouse the cause of rationalism in human affairs, he was driven to seek refuge in neoKantianism, the dominant school of thought in the German universities in the first quarter of this century.

Lachmann’s chapter is clearly a sequal to and a substantial elaboration of his stimulating essay “From Mises to Shackle,”

“The social sciences do in fact nothing of the sort. If conscious action can be ‘’explained,” this is a task for psychology but not for economics.”

[...] because its propositions ‘’are valid for every human action without regard to its underlying motives, causes, and goals.

Therefore, the inferrence of past events from a theoretical model satisfies the criterion.

Do we really need the concept of the evenly rotating economy “to grasp the function of enterpreneurship and the meaning of profit and loss” (p. 248), [...]

“This in turn requires that information processes and costs, transactions and tranactions costs and also expectations and uncertainty be explicitly and essentially included in the equilibrium notion.
Page 93: bottom par.: further
We may safely take it, from Hayek’s other writings if not from this paper, that the study of equilibrium is advocated to obtain additional insights and not to preclude the futher formal study of the mar-[...]

Page 111: par. 1: cooperation (to match the rest of the usage throughout the book)
For consider what precedes it. “In civilized society [man] stands at all times in need of the co-operation and assistance of great multitudes, while his whole life is scarce sufficient to gain the friendship of a few persons.”
Page 113: par. 3: everything
Once everthing is agreed— and within the analytical convention, finally agreed—there is no further need for any of the apparatus of enquiry, communication, and control which might have been required to secure agreement.
Page 121: par. 1: entrepreneurship
Since, moreover, enterpreneurship is based on superior knowledge in some particular, it is open to an entrepreneur to seek profit through misleading those with whom he proposes to trade.
Page 147: par. 1: entrepreneurship
Clearly this way of identifying the entrepreneurial element that is present in Misesian human action but absent in Robbinsian economizing activity fits in well with the approach that defines enterpreneurship as alertness to hitherto unperceived opportunities.

[...] as a category of intervention, and ndeed Mises was to add a separate category for confiscatory and redistribu-tionary taxation in his later work.
Page 176: par. 0: nonetheless
Thus Mises now treats taxation as a category of interventionism, which he nontheless still defines as he had in 1926 as any government policy that “forces the entrepreneurs and capitalists to employ some of the factors of production in a way different from what they would have resorted to if they were only obeying the dictates of the market” (1949, pp. 714-715).
Page 177: par. 0: should be a right double quotation
Thus in contrast to his statement in 1926, “If government buys milk in the market in order to sell it inexpensively to destitute mothers or even to distribute it without charge, or if government subsidizes educational institutions“ there is intervention (1926, p. 20).
